One phrase from Glauber's short report nails this whole thing:
creating a scene that’s like a throwback to the 1960s
Other observers, Madistan natives, have made the same remark. This event is all about the War Protests; it's a second childhood for many.
For some, childhood is permanent.
Its funny, but not in the ha-ha kind of way... I mentioned to someone right after Obama got elected that this was Revenge of the Hippies. They didn't get what they wanted in the 1960's so joined the "establishment" and took over academia all in wait for this - their moment to finally get what they want.
ReplyDeleteThis is my concern with Conservatives. We don't take the long view. The Progressives do.
There's more than a small element of truth to the assertion that for some, if not many of us "old hippies", it IS a second childhood.

*Cough*
ReplyDeleteI based my comments partially on your blog-spot observations, Tim.
First-hand testimony and all that.
